Changing the Deck Engagement Belt WARNING! Shut the engine OFF and remove key (if equipped) before removing the cutting blade(s) for sharpening or replacement. Protect your hands by using heavy gloves when grasping blades and pulleys. WARNING! The V-belts found on your mower are specially designed to engage and disengage safely. A substitute (non-OEM) V-belt can be dangerous by not disengaging completely. For a proper working machine, use factory approved belts. All belts on your mower are subject to wear and should be replaced if any signs of wear are present. To change or replace the deck engagement belt on your mower, proceed as follows: 1. Remove the deck from beneath the mower (refer to Cutting Deck Removal on page 22), then gently flip the deck over to expose its underside. WARNING! Avoid pinching injuries. Never place your fingers on the idler spring or between the belt and a pulley while removing the belt. 2. Remove the belt cover as instructed in Step 1 of Cutting Deck Removal on page 22. See Figure 7-1. 3. Remove the belt keeper as instructed in Step 6 of Cutting Deck Removal on page 22. See Figure 7-2. 4. Loosen, but not remove, the nut and bolt which secures each deck idler pulley. See Figure 7-8. Changing the Deck Timing Belt Several components must be removed and special tools used in order to change the mower deck's timing belt. See your Cub Cadet dealer to have the deck's timing belt replaced. Changing the Transmission Drive Belt Several components must be removed and special tools used in order to change the mower's transmission drive belt. See your Cub Cadet dealer to have the transmission drive belt replaced. Fuse (Electric Start Models Only) WARNING! Before servicing, repairing, or inspecting, always disengage blades, stop engine and remove key to prevent unintended starting. A fuse is installed in your mower's wiring harness to protect the mower's electrical system from damage caused by excessive amperage. If the electrical system does not function, or your mower's engine will not crank, first check to be certain that the fuse has not blown. It is located near the battery. CAUTION: Always use a replacement fuse with the same amperage capacity as the blown fuse. Deck Idler Pulleys Figure 7-8 5. Remove the belt from around all pulleys. 6. Route the new belt as illustrated in Figure 7-8. 7. Retighten the nuts and bolts which secure each idler pulley. 8. Reattach the belt keeper and belt cover. Section 7 - Service 25
